Freddy's Frozen Custard Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Base

   In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

2. 2

   Whisk the Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Cool the Mixture

   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. 5

   Churn the Custard

   Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

6. 6

   Freeze and Serve

   Transfer the custard to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up. Scoop and serve as desired.
